How do you differentiate black and white pieces? Maybe half the pieces should have white text instead

Was thinking the same, use unicode or emojis for chess pieces.

Definitely. White background too. Chess Team Six ready for check.

Yeah, it definitely needs to be color coded.

The other thing that would bother me is that if you're playing black, you have to play upside down. I wonder if there would be a way to "flip the board".

Probably could make a board on another sheet with a formula that points to the opposite side of the board

That sounds like a nightmare of VBA code. I love it!

I think sheets will let you flip the text completely. Although then issues with using mouse when looking at it from that side

Is there a variant of chess where you use the same color? Like blind chess but you're only color blind.
